Meet Dante, Demon of Seduction
By
Kathy Kulig

Thanks for inviting me here today to talk about my bad boy hero Dante in my latest release Damned and Defiant from Ellora’s Cave. And thanks to the readers for taking the time to check out my books. Readers rock!

Dante Akanto is a character in all three books: Desert of the Damned, Damned and Desired, and Damned and Defiant. He plays quite a unique part in all three books. He’s a hunky immortal demon with the power to draw lifeforce energy from mortals through sexual encounters. He must do this for the survival of his life and his world Anartia. Unlike some demons on Anartia, he wasn’t always an immortal creature. He was assimilated by the demoness Gwyllain and her consort and lover Tarik to be their Drone and servant. In exchange for Dante’s loyalty and services, he was given immortality. The choice was a no-brainer because a senior Drone approached him while Dante was near death.

Dante lived during the Gold Rush days in the 1800s, he had a gold claim, he had a ranch and horses. Someone wanted all that he had. Dante was betrayed and shot and lay dying in the desert when another Drone rescued him. If he hadn’t accepted the demoness’s offer, he would’ve died.

While Drones collect their lifeforce energy, they cannot indulge in orgasms. To do so will drain the energy they collected and possibly drain all the energy from their current prey to the point of death. For this reason, Drones are forbidden to get personal with mortals. Dante breaks that rule when he meets Haley.

He knows she’s running from her past. Something frightened her enough to leave everything behind except a backpack and hike across country but he doesn’t know what. He’s attracted to her vulnerability, courage and beauty. Besides her quirkiness, she’s a Sha Warrior with powers she doesn’t even know she possesses. And another demon wants to use her for his own benefit. To protect Haley, Dante has to betray his own kind and risk destroying his world.

About the Author:

Kathy Kulig is the award-winning author of sexy paranormal and contemporary romances. She has published over a dozen novels and novellas and her work has appeared in eBook, print and anthology. Kathy is a science geek by day and writer of erotic fiction at night. Her interest in mythology, quantum physics and the supernatural, and also her extensive background in science, provide inexhaustible material for new projects in the paranormal realms. Besides her career in writing, she’s a cytotechnologist and has worked as a research scientist, medical technologist, dive master and stringer for a newspaper.

She resides in eastern Pennsylvania with her husband and lives in a 100-year-old Victorian home which has a garage built of rejected tombstones.

Mortal women surrender to Dante’s seductions. He is a Drone, an immortal who feeds off their lifeforce energy—the chi that keeps his kind alive. When his dimension is on the edge of destruction, Dante must seek the help of one special woman.

Haley Moore is a Sha Warrior—a mortal with excess lifeforce energy. She has always had a strong attraction to Dante and when they meet again he thinks luck is on his side because his quota of chi energy would be obtained after one scorching scene with this mortal. But the problem is that he is overwhelmingly attracted to her and once with this woman won’t be enough.

Haley tries to draw out the man buried deep within the demon. Their fierce, undeniable passion unravels his plans and threatens her life. Can Dante bear to abandon her when he leaves Earth forever? Dante will have to choose whether to return to his world or to give up his immortality and share his future with Haley.

Review Star Rating Definitions

1 Star – We currently do not review any story with a 1 star rating. If it’s DNF or a “wall-banger” we decline to review.

2 Stars — Not wonderful, but tolerable. There may be some minor editing glitches but not enough to stop you reading. Not a wall-banger, but nothing you’d re-read. This is a book you would borrow from the library – not buy- and never check out again. You might recommend it to a friend with a mention of the glitches, knowing that something in the plot or story would still appeal to them regardless.

3 Stars — Good. Mostly enjoyable. You made it through and didn’t consider it a waste of time or money. The story was strong enough or the conflict tight enough, so even when the book faltered, it was able to draw you back in and keep you. There’s a chance you’ll recommend it to a friend, but it wouldn’t go on your keeper shelf.

4 Stars — Very Good. You’re glad you were the one who got to review the book. You would probably buy it and would definitely recommend it to your friends. You liked the characters and the plot. The writing style was good and the editing clean.

5 Stars — Great! You would definitely buy this book. You would definitely recommend it to your friends. You really loved the characters and the plot and would consider looking for this authors back list or making her an autobuy. The writing and editing were superb.

LASR Best Book – For a book or story that is truly exceptional. You think about it when you’re not reading it. You wonder what happens to the characters when you finish. You would absolutely buy everything else this author had to offer. The highest praise – and reserved for only a few.
